Humen Bridge

About

The Humen Bridge (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Hǔmén Dàqiáo, Jyutping: Fu2mun4 Dai6kiu4), also known as Humen Pearl River Bridge, is a bridge over the Humen, Pearl River in Guangdong Province, southern China. It consists of two main spans — a suspension bridge section and a segmental concrete section. It connects the Nansha District of Guangzhou to Humen Town of Dongguan. Completed in 1997, the suspension bridge has a main span of 888 meters, and the segmental concrete section's main span of 237 meters is among the longest such spans in the world. It forms part of the G9411 Dongguan–Foshan Expressway. The newer Nansha Bridge, built to reduce the traffic problems on the Humen Bridge, opened to traffic in April 2019.
